Perhaps the biggest criticism thrown at Mauricio Pochettino during his time at Tottenham was the fact that he had never won a trophy with Spurs or any other club as a manager.
So, when Daniel Levy and the board sacked the Argentine, they clearly were not going to make the same mistake twice, bringing in one of the biggest serial winners in the game.
Jose Mourinho has won trophies everywhere he has gone across Europe, including Porto, Chelsea, Inter Milan, Real Madrid, Chelsea again, and Man United.
Spurs are without a piece of silverware in over 11 years, dating back to their 2008 Carling Cup win over Chelsea.
So, what exactly has Mourinho won over his senior managerial career?
